I forgot to provide an update on this. I was busy finishing up my MBA and it completely slipped my mind. Anyhow, after trying them out for a few weeks I returned the Momentum and kept the HP50. After listening to the HP50 for a week, I found the Momentum to be a bit muffled in comparison. I did...

Update: so after a few days of listening exclusively with the HP50 and then going back to the Momentum, I noticed that the latter seems a bit more congested. The HP50 is growing on me. It might be a little bit bright for my taste and they do get a bit warm (just a bit) on the ears. I will...

Grizzlybeast- haha no kidding. And I agree. I thought the exactly same thing. I listened to it for a few hours at work today with the HP50 and they sounded pretty good! I'll give both some time to break-in and go from there.

The NAD HP50 came in today. I've listened to it since about 8 PM or so (alternating between the HP50 and the Momentum). The HP50's offer a different experience. They sound more open and spacious. You hear a bit more of the music and they are more neutral than the Momentum. Listening to songs by...

^ for sure. I'm not opposed to trying out other headphones. It doesn't have to sound like the HD650 for me to like it. But I must say, the Momentums are pretty nice.

I got the Momentums today and have been trying them out for the last hour or so. I am pretty impressed!! Good SQ, treble, mids, bass. The headphones are smaller than I thought but they fit me ok (no discomfort yet). At first when I switched out the cable (to the non-mic one) only one side of the...

Depending on what you listen to, you might find the DT770 to be lacking in mids. I bought a pair before because they are very comfortable and had good sq. However, after a week or two of listening to them, I returned them because I found the mids lacking (a common thing on the DT770). I listen...

I just bought both on Amazon. I will try them out for a few weeks and keep the one I like best. Seems like the Momentums are closest to the HD650 so maybe I will like that more. However, there are concerns about the fit for some people. The same issue can be said about the HP50. Either way, both...

Looks like we've narrowed it down to the Momentum and the HP50. 

Any thoughts on the PSB M4U 1 Over-Ear? 

I am highly considering this. I looked up GRIZZLYBEAR's recommendations and were going to go with either the HP50 or the FOCAL SPIRIT CLASSIC. However, the FOCALS are more than what I am willing to spend. The HP50's I heard can be uncomfortable. I've been told I have a big head so I'm afraid...

  Thank you for that! I've eliminated it from the list. I'm now trying to choose from the three recommended ones mentioned above (NAD Viso HP50, Momentum, and K545).     Thanks for the recommendation but they don't seem to be what I'm looking for. I think I will pick one from the three...

See, now that's the thing I'm struggling with. You guys have recommended three different headphones, all of which are good. I have those three added to my cart on Amazon earlier today. Now I just need to decide which pair.

Andrea Bocelli, Frank Sinatra, classical, country, hip hop/rap, etc. pretty much everything.

Hello everyone, I started a thread a few months ago looking for recommendations on a pair of open and a pair of closed headphoens. After picking up a pair of HD650 (which I really like), I'm looking to get a closed pair of headphones for listening at work and occasional travel (doesn't...

The 600 ohm is what you want. If you will be using it with an ipod/iphone a lot without an amp then get the 32 ohm. If you will be getting a portable amp you should go with a higher impedance. The 250 ohm version is okay. From what I have seen and heard, the 600 ohm is the best version of the...

Thank you, thank you. I appreciate all you guys' help! I'm excited to try on the HD 650!!

Thank you very much for the detailed info- appreciate it!! I was going back and forth on the 600 vs 650 and couldn't choose. It was driving me crazy. After reading the reviews between the two on the link that KG Jag posted, I decided to go with the 650. They will be here tomorrow. I will see how...

Which would you recommend- the Sony or the Sennheiser? Should I just go with a cheaper pair like the ATH-M50's for listening at work? I like the ZMF headphones that Claritas mentioned above too but they're a bit on the pricier side.

Thank you for the recommendations! The Sony looks pretty nice and they have great reviews too. I've seen it mentioned on here a few times . The Momentum have great reviews too. Edit: I just realized that the Sony ones have bluetooth and a mic in its wire. I can't use that at work.

Those look pretty sweet. I'll keep them at the top of my list. I'm not in a hurry to get a closed pair as I have some decent earphones I can use at work.

A lot of people say they don't sound good until they're modded? Not sure what's going on.

Just bought a pair of the 650. Now I'm looking for a good pair of closed cans.

Thank you for the suggestions! I meant $200-300 for a closed pair with good mids and a good open ear pair (price can be up to $700).

Thank you for the link! It provide some very helpful insights!
